We’re back together for this week’s mid-week chat. Out of the gate we congratulate Mary Grosser, winner of our second Hands Across The Sea Samplers The Old Scot chart. We’re giving away one more copy of The Old Scot, so listen to the podcast to learn how you can win. Of course, big thanks to Nicola and Hands Across The Sea for providing these giveaway charts.
